Brock: technically the meters are not backlit... it was easier in this case to put 3mm LEDs in the bottom section, pointing up toward the faceplate.

Yeah, the infinity mirror... I saw a vintage one at a friend's place a couple years ago and have been wanting to build one. Of course it's always fun if the LEDs blink or do patterns, and naturally I thought it would be cool if it did that according to sound. Finally, it doesn't really do that... I just moved the usual indicator LEDs into the mirror box. The mirror tint film is pretty tricky to put on... there are plenty of tiny air bubbles but I just couldn't do any better after a dozen attempts. If you can find one-way mirror instead....

Ah yes, Tempest! I never got very far in that game back in the 80s, and it was only in one arcade. I was better at Gyruss, which kindof similar, circling around a vortex... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suRXuW1hryw
